Contrary to a popular myth, having a purple tounge does not indicate the dogs breed in any way. Purple, blue, and black spottings on the tounge/mouth (ans sometimes covering the whole toungue), are nothing more then large deposits of melanin, much like a freckle. It can be found in every breed of dog, albeit some are more suspectable such as labs and chows. The coloring does not effect the dogs health in any way.

The Chow-Chow is the only dog breed to have the purple tongue. A mixed breed dog may have some Chow-Chow somewhere in the lineage and have a purple tongue or just some purple spots.

That would be about any dog that is part Chow. The Chinese Chow has a black tongue, while most other dogs have red tongues, so if they are mixed, the offspring would have spotted tongues.
